Beschreibungen/Notizen

• An updated edition which provides readers with a discussion of how debates about democracy and national identity in Thailand have evolved from the period of counter-insurgency in the 1960s to the current period. Focusing on state- and civil society-centered democratic projects, the author uses original Thai language sources to trace how the Thai state developed a democratic ideology that meshed with idealized notions of Thai identity, focusing on the monarchy.
